This document discusses nonverbal communication and its key aspects. Nonverbal communication involves using body language and gestures rather than words to convey messages. It can clarify messages and provide additional context about how something is being said based on facial expressions and body language. The key elements of nonverbal communication discussed are eye contact, facial expressions, posture, touch, gestures, and personal space. Maintaining appropriate eye contact, body posture, and personal space can communicate levels of openness, confidence, and relationship between individuals.

of using wordless messages to generate meaning.
 Nonverbal Communication = Communication
without words

3. Verbal and non verbal are all types of
communication. But the difference between them
is that we use our voice in verbal communication
and we use body signs in non-verbal
communication.

4.  The usage of Nonverbal Communication can clarify
even the toughest messages to understand.
 When speaking with a person, it makes a difference to
see them and understand the way that they are feeling
based not only through their words, but also through
their gestures, expressions, and all characteristics that
fit into the Nonverbal Communication category.

5.  In addition, nonverbal cues can sometimes be
more meaningful than words themselves.
However, when put together, a message is then
complete.
 More than voice or even words, nonverbal
communication helps to create your image in
others mind and even you can express your
emotions and feelings in front of others, which you
are unable to express in words.

relationship.

key characteristics of
nonverbal communication.

sadness, anger or fear.

9.  Posture and how you carry
your self tells a lot about
you.
 How you walk, sit, stand or
hold your head not only
indicates your current mood,
but also your personality in
general.
For example, if you cross your
arms while standing, you
indicate that you may be
closed off and defensive.
Meanwhile, walking with
your head down and
avoiding eye contact with
others may indicate shyness.

"bubble" - the space you
place between yourself
and others. This invisible
boundary becomes
apparent only when
someone bumps or tries
to enter your bubble.
